After being ordered by court in 2016 to fork out a R500,000 settlement, including legal costs, for defaming Kasrils, the deputy minister for military veterans and the MKMVA are being sued for more than R1.4m by their own lawyers.
In papers filed in court and seen by Sunday World, Madhlopa and Thenga Attorneys said it had entered into an agreement to render various legal services including criminal, civil litigation matters, registrations and amendments of trusts for the MKMVA between May 2016 and July 2018.
"The plaintiff complied with its obligations in that I rendered legal services as instructed by the defendant, and generated invoices to the defendant, which invoices remain unpaid. According to court papers, of the R1.4m owed to the lawyers by MKMVA, R560,000 emanates from the defamation case. Other legal costs related to different cases.
